At Pittsburg, yesterday, a bright and fascinating
young woman. who claims to be Miss Temple, o

CIvIL-SERvICE SUIT.-AttOrney Gen. Sherman
has begun suit in Boston to enforce the civi-ser-
vice law In Massachusetts,. The suit grows out OF
the action OF the mayor OF Haverh1ll in the ap-
polntment OF patrolman for the police force. He
made reQuisttiOn for such appointment to the
board of civi-service examiners The list was
made out with the names OF the highest nine ap-
plicants and the relative standing OF each. or
these nine applicants two. L. Webster, standing
second and c. Ii. Davis, standing sixth-had served
In the Army and Navy, and the fact was so indi-
Gated, and Webster was entitled to the preference
in the appointment to the Office as provided by the
law. The mayor, however, nominated for the
place. and the board OF aldermen confirmed II. G,
Hill, whose standing was third. The attorney
general Calls the attention OF the court to the fact
that the appointment was illegal, and will press
suit on the point The papers were tiled yesterday
at Salem. The case Will raise q very Interesting
question. The mayor aud aldermen hold that the
veteran Webster was not lifted for the place of
PAL rO.m man. But the question is whether they have
any discretion in such matters or must take what
the board gives them.

The Auction Bidder.

The increase in the auction business leads
to new speciality known as "bidders." Most
men prefer to keep their purposes secret, and,
indeed, if they are seen bidding others will be
sure to follow Bidders are, therefore, a very
useful class, and the following clipping, ex-
tracted from a morning paper, shows the
manner in which they seek business:
ave bid in anything you want at auction;
thoroughly posted; references"
There are two methods adopted by bidders
one being mere bluff, while the other is the
game of perseverance. The buffer starts
high-almost as high as his mark-and thus
scares off competition, while the others worry
along with small BIDS and in this manner
tire out their competitors. 1 attended sale
once where buffer carried off a fine bar
gain in the following manner: The property
was estimated at S5,OO0 and when a bid was
asked there were several ready to offer from
81, 500 to $4,000. The buffer, however, called
out s., 900, and thus startled the crowd. They
thought the man must be so excited that it
would be of no use to compete, and the buffer
got the property at S3,700. 1t was sold soon
afterward at large advance. Every way,
indeed, is taken to manipulate auctions, and
a little ingenuity often produces good results.
Bidders are paid from s. to $50, and gen.
orally earn their money. Another method is
to pay people for not bidding. A very shrewd
real estate dealer of my acquaintance, when
he wants to make purchase, endeavors to
learn who will be likely to compete with him.
He then will pay them to stay away. He
once pointed out to me house, adding: ~
got that at auction for $4,000, but paid a

AdrOitness of a Young Minister.

Well, the New York story is of a young as
sistant minister in Fifth avenue church who
is said to have obtained great social favor by
making the ladies of his congregation believe
that they are responsible for the best points
in his sermons The ideas that every receipt
i've man takes from others, and generally
works over in his own mental laboratory into
something new and strange, this far seeing
young preacher credits adroitly to the one
who suggested them.
He makes pastoral call, turns the talk to
some religious or sentimental topic, picks out
an utterance of his hostess, Commends it, and
declares his intention to use it. Next Sunday
she hears him bring in her conceit, modified
and transmitted into something far above her
own common place, with such an introduction
as this: Zone of the brightest minds know
says" or From beautiful source comes the
idea" She adores him, of course after this,
and no wonder.-Boston Transcript.
